Summary

Covering every area of general biology, Life uses a lively, storytelling writing style and current, true-life examples to engage students in a nonintimidating way. The fifth edition has a totally new design. A beautiful color-coordinated art and photo program was developed with the purpose of instruction. All chapters have been updated to reflect the latest advances and new thinking in the field of genomics, and a section of genetics problems have been added to the appropriate chapters. An Online Learning Center provides teachers and students with hundreds of animations, learning activities, and quizzes designed to help students grasp complex concepts.
